cute pumpkin photos for Halloween post
Halloween has always been a spooky holiday where people put up creepy decorations and wear scary costumes. When you think of Halloween, you think skeletons & vampires & haunted houses & witches flying in the dark. People get pumpkins and carve Jack ‘o lanterns that are supposed to give passersby chills, right?
  • SPOOKY, CREEPY – scary
  • HAUNTED – a place that has ghosts
  • JACK ‘O LANTERN – a pumpkin that is hollowed out, carved, and lit to look scary
  • PASSERSBY – people passing/walking by
  • GIVE someone CHILLS – scare someone; give someone goosebumps

 

So, I was a bit confused when I noticed that the thing to do on Halloween now is to paint pumpkins cute little faces. 😐 I’ve seen similar displays at a few supermarkets, and I’ve also come across an article online that gave tips on how to go about painting pumpkins this way. Huh?

.
Of course, we’ve always had creative costumes that are more clever than spooky, but is Halloween no longer about hair-raising ghost stories or blood-covered zombie costumes? Is the Jack ‘o lantern now a cute, colorful arts-and-craft project and no longer the frightful glowing image at people’s front steps?
  • CLEVER – smart
  • HAIR-RAISING – scary
  • GLOWING – burning, shining
.
I wonder if this is going to be permanent, which means the terrifying side of Halloween will soon be a thing of the past, or if it is just a fad? I guess I never really thought I’d miss the scary side of Halloween as I’ve never really been a huge fan of it in the first place until I started to sense that it may completely change soon. 😐
  • TERRIFYING – scary
  • A FAD – something that is popular for a short period of time

What do you all think?
In any case, have a fun, safe Halloween, everyone!
